Collaborative Project 3: Identity Swap COMPLETE!


The final pieces from our 3rd Collaborative Project. See the working process on our pages...

As a tribute to London Jewellery Week which starts this week we have completed the project which saw us working with our practiced techniques but in the style of the other designer. This has challenged us to think outside of our usual working process and provided us with an opportunity to develop our skills as designers.

The Collaborative Project 2012: Rings

Step 1: Working on 2 pieces each, Ellen begins working with wax while Rebecca begins working in metal, thus swapping their usual techniques.

Step 2: One piece is selected to be swapped. 
The remaining piece is brought together with the received piece to create a coherent set.
At this stage wax pieces are to be cast and can be worked on once in metal form.

Step 3: The pair of pieces are now swapped again to be finished.
Deadline: 20th February 2012
Time Limit for each stage: 2/3 hours
Aim: To have 2 sets of rings or pieces that relate to the concept of rings that each designer has contributed to, as well as a documentation of the process in hard copy and blog entry form.

GO!
